The Incentive Plan? Don’t Screw up or You’re Fired

I love this cartoon. This is another one of those that’s been hanging in my office for a decade and a half.

This is NOT my mindset – that if you screw up you’re fired. I think it’s a shame when things are that way.

However, as someone who’s been a part of hundreds of businesses, often trying to figure out how to keep morale up and motivate employees, ensuring that they’re on board for whatever big changes and overhauls I have to implement to keep sinking ships afloat, I certainly understand the sentiment.
